Question : Snap server NFS mount

Hi,

I tried mounting the SNAP server in UNIX root login. I am able to mount through the mount point but after mounting the mount point changes to no group permission. None of the users were able to access this mount point. Only the root has access to this.

I tried the commount

mount snapserver:/ /mntpoint

Can some one help me to solve this problem.

I have also authenticated the user root in the snap server.

Answer : Snap server NFS mount

Access controls are implemented in the Snap Server, not in the client, so this is a snapserver administration question.

Here's a snippet from the snapserver Administrator manual for the 2000, page 23 -

=== snip ===
You can configure Snap Server users and grant them rights for selected network shares. (Snap Server user names, such as ROOT and GUEST, are not case-sensitive.) You can then associate user accounts from one or more UNIX systems to a Snap Server user.

To configure NFS users first click "Users" on the "Security" menu and then click "NEW" to create a new, local user. (For more information about local users, see "Defining Snap Server Users" on page 11.) Select the user you created and then click "NFS". On the "NFS Settings for User" page, click New. On the "New NFS Settings for User" page, enter the user ID (UID), IP address, and Address Mask. Click OK to apply your changes. For more information, refer to online Help.
=== end snip ===

I'm betting that users NOT specifically listed will come in under the "Guest" account they mention in the first page. If you want more information, go here :
